NCAA INITIAL ELIGIBILITY

In an effort to simplify and streamline the initial eligibility certification process for prospective student-athletes the NCAA has on-line registration for the NCAA Initial Eligibility Clearinghouse.  The clearinghouse application must be completed on-line by going to http://www.ncaa.org or to http://www.ncaaclearinghouse.net  .  NOTE:  The NCAA will need an official copy of your transcript from Seton.  It is your responsibility to go to Mrs. Sanregret's office in the Guidance Suite to request that a transcript be sent to the NCAA to accompany the application that you have filled out on-line.

There are also several helpful links on the guidance website regarding college athletics.  For a link to academic policy covering NCAA and NAIA guideline for high school students click here.  For a link to College Resources/Clearinghouse Material/College Search/NCAA site/etc click here.
